- D. Foreign DNA and RNA in some of its cells
Explanation
A transgenic organism is one that has become transformed following the introduction of novel genes into its genome. It is most frequently achieved by the integration of cloned DNA sequences following their injection into the fertilized egg. This fertilized egg divides mitotically to form the whole organism so that all the cells of the organism will carry the transferred gene. The transferred genes are known as transgenes. Transgenesis can be done by pronuclear microinjection and somatic cell nuclear transfer or cloning. Transgenic animals produced by this technology include mice, Drosophila, Xenopus and some of the fish species.
